I’ll Have One With Kimchee, Please

1 of 5

Combines the glories of the bánh mì (pickles and fresh jalapeño, plus peanut sauce) with old-fashioned hot-dog goodness (all-beef dog, housemade challah bun). If you’re a traditionalist, Willie’s classic dog (the Mutt) is also one of the best in town. $5

At his new Upper West Side location, Zak Pelaccio lards the elegant Asia-fusion dog with ground pork, shrimp, and XO sausage, then layers it with mayo and tangy radishes on a ­potato-bread roll. So spicy you’ll be hiccuping for days. $13
